I am turning into an old crock and my ankles ache, my back aches, my knees ache blah blah blah blah blah.
I think it is time for some extra help, anybody know of anything?

Thanks
 
chondroitn and glucosamine I believe is the only supplement thats clinically proven as a prevention for and treatment for arthritis! Never used it myself - just read about it! and it is contained naturally in the body and helps to replace the cartilage in the joints!
 
I just googled this and it looks quite interesting. I tried to google just chondroitn on its own but to be honest I didnt understand the blurb.lol.

My friends husband takes human cortaflex and although it's not cheap, he swears by it. I take the Holland and Barrett Chondroitin and Glucosamine, but the thing is with arthritis, is that it is cyclical, so goes off for weeks at a time anyway, so you are never sure if the tablets helped or not.
 
I wasnt thinking arthritis, I was thinking old injurys and general riding wear and tear but saying that I suppose they all link in to getting arthritis in the future.
I'm not old, 32 but I am lame in the mornings when I get out of bed and again when I get off from riding where my ankles have stiffened up.
 
I was working with playgroups and nurseries and really having trouble sitting on tiny chairs and standing up afterwards. A colleague recommended 7 Seas Jointcare, with glucosamine and chondroitin. She said she gets supermarket's similar own brand and it would probably take about a month to be effective. I tried the 7 seas and it worked in 2 days!!. I am also much more comfortable when riding and in general. I had stiffened up when recovering from a broken ankle and not really improved in the months afterwards, now ankles, knees and hips are so much better. I recommend it to every-one!
 
Human Superflex by NAF brilliant stuff, i was aching so much before i started this, after riding 3 horses full time job etc!

Has DEFINATELY helped. 19 quid for 120capsules i think, but well worth it. I order mine from my feedstore
 
Im glad its not just me then!!

I take Glucosamine daily which I think helps, get them from www.simplysupplements.co.uk good value as its bogof, they are also on Ebay.

Also good old fashioned cod liver oil helps keep the old joints oiled lol!!
